Yes I had my USA zone include NY, and My International include all countries.

Ok, so I'm going to delete and re-define the zones. Just to be clear I need to create 2 zones:

1 for NY:

Country> United states> New York

and another zone for everywhere else?

United states> New Jersey
United states> California
+58 more USA states

Country> Zimbabwe
Country> Zambia
+ every other country in the world? (as we ship world wide)

this would take some time to configure, is this the correct method? According to ZC's wiki it is, but it seems a bit extreme.

Re: Tax 0%: checkout confirmation

No, you shouldn't need to create thousands of new zone definitions.

Why did your International zone include all countries? If your primary country is US then US isn't "international" to you. What was the reason for including US in the International zone in the first place?

Re: Tax 0%: checkout confirmation

I just did a test on a fresh clean uncustomized install, containing demo data.

1. Created a new Zone Definition for New York, added just USA+NewYork in the details.
2. Created a new Zone Definition for USA, added United States, All Zones in the details.
3. Created a new Zone Definition for International, added a handful of countries other than USA in the details.
4. Created a new Tax Rate, setting it to the New York zone, Taxable Goods class, and Tax Rate of 8.875% and gave it a description of "NY Tax".
5. Added a product to my cart, began checkout, created an account using a New York address, chose flat rate shipping, and on the payment screen it shows me the tax properly calculated for the product, so I selected a payment method.
6. On the checkout-confirmation screen I'm presented with 3 columns in the Shopping Cart Contents section: Qty, Title, Total.
No mention of 0% tax anywhere.

I tried changing the Display 0 Sales Tax setting (which isn't relevant in this case, since it only applies when the actual tax amount is 0.00). No difference.
Tried changing the Show Split Tax Lines setting, and that made no difference either.
Tried changing Admin->Configuration->My Store->Store Zone to New York too, to make it match up with taxes, just in case, and that made no difference.

Seems to me like you're using those other zones for multiple purposes which might be conflicting with each other.

What else am I missing that I'd need to do to make my otherwise-default-uncustomized-unaltered store work like yours so I can trigger the same problem?
